 No pull request is too small. Check out any [up for grabs issues](https://github.com/pattern-lab/patternlab-node/labels/up%20for%20grabs) as a good way to get your feet wet, or add some more unit tests.
 
+## Developing Locally
+
+The best way to make changes to the Pattern Lab Node core and test them is through your existing edition.
+
+* Fork this repository on Github.
+* Create a new branch in your fork and push your changes in that fork.
+* `npm install`
+* `npm link`
+* `cd /path/to/your/edition`
+* `npm link patternlab-node`
+

 Guidelines
 ----------
 
-1.	Please keep your pull requests concise and limited to **ONE** substantive change at a time. This makes reviewing and testing so much easier.
-2.	*ALWAYS* submit pull requests against the [dev branch](https://github.com/pattern-lab/patternlab-node/tree/dev). If this does not occur, I will first, try to redirect you gently, second, port over your contribution manually if time allows, and/or third, close your pull request. If you have a major feature to stabilize over time, talk to @bmuenzenmeyer about making a dedicated `feature-branch`
-3.	If you can, add some unit tests using the existing patterns in the `./test` directory
-4.	Please mention the issue number in commits if you can, so anyone can see to which issue your changes belong to. For instance:

+* Commits should reference the issue you are adressing. For any Pull Request that you send, use the template provided.
+* If you can, add some unit tests using the existing patterns in the `./test` directory
+* Large enhancements should begin with opening an issue. This will result in a more systematic way for us to review your contribution and determine if a [specifcation discussion](https://github.com/pattern-lab/the-spec/issues) needs to occur.
+* Please mention the issue number in commits if you can, so anyone can see to which issue your changes belong to. For instance:
 	-	`#123 Fix resolving patterns in pattern_hunter`
 	-	`Feature #42: improve improbability drive`
